Figure 2: 5th day post-thrombolysis in Covid ICU
Patient underwent immediate mechanical intubation and started on inotropes.
In view of patient’s cardiogenic shock, he was emergently taken to cardiac
catheterization laboratory.
Coronary angiogram (CAG) via right radial artery showed subtotal occlusion
of proximal right coronary artery (RCA) with thrombolysis in myocardial
infarction grade I flow (TIMI I flow), his left system did not show any
significant lesion. Proximal RCA was stented with TIMI III flow. He continued
to be in pulmonary edema with high inotropic supports throughout the
procedure.
